I've received so many answers from the list, I'm happy to finally be able to send a few suggestions myself.< wait (the duration of player "myPlayer" / the timeScale of player "myPlayer") seconds>This works and that's most important, but... Everything, including user interaction, suspends while the sound is playing, thus preventing the user from stopping the sound in midplay. If these sounds are brief you can probably 'get away' with that, but it's friendlier to leave control to the user. Klaus' SEND example allows for interruption during and between sound plays. I wonder why playstopped isn't 100% reliable. Jim Lambert
I built a mp3 player and also had trouble with the playStopped message. This is my workaround:
on playAllSounds --- this command is called to start the whole thing
--- a return delimited list of soundFilePaths is located in fld "SoundData"
Global gSoundList
put fld "SoundData" into gSoundList
playSoundList
end playAllSounds
on playSoundList --- this command holds the soundFilePaths
---and plays them one after the other
Global gSoundPlaying,gSoundList
--- UnLoad the player (you must set player fileName to empty
--- before setting a new fileName. I don't know why???)
put "false" into gSoundPlaying
set the fileName of player "SoundPlayer" to empty
set the paused of player "SoundPlayer" to "true"
--- Load the player with new fileName if there is one
if gSoundList is empty then exit to top --- no more sounds to play
get line 1 of gSoundList
delete line 1 of gSoundList --- this prepares soundList for next call
set the fileName of player "SoundPlayer" to it
set the currentTime of player "SoundPlayer" to "0"
startPlayer
end playSoundList
on startPlayer --- this command is called by the "playSoundList" command
--- or by a button to restart a paused sound at the place it was paused
Global gSoundPlaying
if the fileName of player "SoundPlayer" is empty then exit startPlayer
set the paused of player "SoundPlayer" to "false"
put "true" into gSoundPlaying
updateSoundProgress
end startPlayer
on pausePlayer --- this command is called by a "Pause" button
Global gSoundPlaying
if the fileName of player "SoundPlayer" is empty then exit pausePlayer
set the paused of player "SoundPlayer" to "true"
put "false" into gSoundPlaying
end pausePlayer
on updateSoundProgress --- this command is the key to starting a new
--- sound when the current sound is done
Global gSoundPlaying
if gSoundPlaying is not "true" then exit updateSoundProgress
put the duration of player "SoundPlayer" into soundDone
get the currentTime of player "SoundPlayer"
if it is soundDone then
playSoundList
else
send "updateSoundProgress" to me in 20 ticks
end if
end updateSoundProgress
Hope this helps... John
